The abbey

Easter Sunday. A good day to be in church. Unfortunately we missed the morning service in the village so headed over to Fountains Abbey instead.

I was last here for a wedding two years ago. Today the rain kept the place quiet.

The abbey is on the tourist trail, and it's a strange place. The huge formal garden that has since been built around the ruin beautiful but obscures - to me at least - the original purpose of the place.
